Cringley Asking for 12 Month Predictions

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the roll-out-the-crystal-ball dept.

sckienle writes "Robert X. Cringely is asking in his pulpit this week for help in determining what's going to happen in the tech industry in the next 12 months." I expect that robots will take over the world, and openly hunt humans in a post apocolyptic landscape. This will occur in January. For the rest of the year, technology will take a vacation.

    12 months?

    How about today.

    The name of the proggy's DVDExtractor, if you want to google it.

    Put in a DVD.
    Hit "create image".
    Put blank DVD-R disk in superdrive.
    Hit burn image in toast.

    It can't copy DVD's over 4.5GB, but that's not a problem with the program, just current DVD-R technology.
